Bloody hell, my Warbases order arrived. If only I could remember what my thinking was behind purchasing 4 x 1p sabot bases.. extend the 8s to 12s? make it easier to form column? Command groups?
And I'm actually in deep and terrible trouble as I have run out of post 1994 1p pieces anyway... can't get to a bank to get change. It was the one thing I didn't think of, or at the back of my mind thought: 'my mother still has three hundred of the things in a jar somewhere'? (Which the dottled old woman can't find, of course..)

I've got to wait for the pubs to reopen. My son does some of the banking work for one so I usually get him to add mine to the change order.

I had the same problem a while back. I looked on the net and found repair washers in just about the same diameter. They are a little thinner and a little smaller diameter but fit the sabots. Price was less than 1p each including postage.

Pennies are something like 20.9mm and you can get 20mm washers.

I got five quid worth of pennies from my bank a couple of days ago. They had to do a 'special order' for me because I'm not a business customer. What a palava!

Yes, there’s limited call for it.
I’d make the move to washers soon chaps, I can’t see copper coin as a concept lasting long into the ‘New Normal’
